July General Meeting - BEST READS from Environmental and Nature Book Club
Looking for good books to read in your hammock on vacation or on your couch at home? Join us to welcome Fort Worth Sierra Club member and Book Club Coordinator Terry McIntire as he highlights some of the best books his group has reviewed over the last few years. The program is sure to be enlightening and give you great ideas for future reading.
About our speaker:
Terry McIntire has been a Sierra Club member since 1980 and a former Chair of the Fort Worth group. He was the leader of a group of family members, landowners and environmentalists that opposed the damming of the Paluxy River just upstream from Dinosaur Valley State Park; an ultimately successful battle that began in 1980 and lasted 20 years. Some of you may remember this endeavor or remember coming to one of the many fish fry fundraisers held on the river. Terry is now very involved in opposition to data centers in Hood and Somervell counties, one of which would border Dinosaur Valley Park and another massive proposal in the drainage area of the Paluxy Valley just above the park.

The Dallas Sierra Club Needs Volunteers!
Without active volunteers, the Dallas Sierra Club will cease to exist. Because of this, your help is imperative to our survival. While the Sierra Club does have paid employees at the State and National level, the bulk of the work in each state is done by local groups which are entirely volunteer-led. The Dallas group has had a huge advocacy presence in North Texas since the 1970’s, and we’ve been working diligently to better the environment by engaging residents to participate and utilize the strengths they already possess to create positive environmental change. It may be surprising, but much of the work our volunteers do can be done from home with only occasional in-person meetings or events needed. For those volunteers with young families, full-time jobs, or health issues, this can be an ideal opportunity to help without often leaving the comfort of home. Please consider helping us continue the Dallas Sierra Club’s tried and true tradition of 50+ years as an entirely volunteer-led group. Your help can make all the difference. To volunteer, please contact Victoria Howard, Chair of the Dallas Sierra Club at victoria@dallassierraclub.org.
